If the page is pinned, there's no point in trying to reclaim it. Furthermore if the page is from the page cache we don't want to reclaim fs-private data from the page because the pinning process may be writing to the page at any time and reclaiming fs private info on a dirty page can upset the filesystem (see link below).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
